Notes:
--Having finally hit a somewhat normal summer weather pattern, the rain started just as I was finishing my warm-up. Big, cold drops that felt like miniature water balloons. I almost expected them to sting a little. The rain gradually turned into a monsoon and ultimately cut my finisher short by one rep--when the lightning preceded the thunder by a half-second, it was time to call it a day.
--Two things made this workout easier: 1) the cooling rain, 2) I was on a slight incline, which helped burpees and push-ups, unlike the slight decline I was on before, which made those movements a total beeotch.
--It's time to add more water to the pipe. It may have an evaporation leak somewhere (because I've yet to see a drip leak), but it's becoming less of a challenge compared to when I first made it.
--On an unrelated note, I've been using Mitchem anti-perspirant for a few years since it was the closest thing I could find that would at least occasionally control my hog-inspired armpit sweat glands, but that's being generous (to the deodorant). The last couple days, I've been using that Degree prescription strength stuff, and it works like a charm--I was dry (under my arms) outside in the rain today, at the gym most of the time, sometimes even in the shower. Just hope nothing gets clogged in there.
